trying to change led's in my third brake light (anyone want a project?)

I am trying to change all the led's in my third brake light. I have a spare one but they are very dim and want to change all the leds to make it brighter. Can anyone recomend new led's and what resistors to use with them, I want it really bright but don't want to pay $5 an led. Anyone interested in a project? I'll supply everything you need, thanks, CHRIS........

The tough part has proven to be maintaining the original resistance in order to get them to flash properly with the original blinker. This is not an issue with the brake light, but since the LEDs draw such low current, your car may be fooled into thinking that you have a bulb burnt out.

I've been down this road before with switching all of the bulbs over on my old Dubb. This is exactly what you need to fix the voltage issues when working with LED's for turn signals:
